someguydave··on Run CUDA, unmodified, on AMD GPUs
yes, there are troy pounds, they are 12 troy ounces (not 16 ounces, like normal (avoirdupois) pounds)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_weight

180 avoirdupois pounds is 2,625 ounces troy. The gold price is around $2470/ounce troy today, so $2470*2625 ~= $6.483 million

someguydave··on Hacking millions of modems and investigating who hacked my modem
yeah the false positive problem is huge here. For every legitimate security professional there are probably 10-100 schizos who believe they are “hacked”
